Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies

Like most people, one of my New Years Resolutions was to go back to eating clean, healthy, and losing the extra holiday pounds. It hasn't been rough getting back to clean eating... but getting the sugar out of my system and getting my sweet tooth under control has been quite difficult! Bottom line, I ate too many treats over the holidays. I still want to eat a little dessert at night (this will never change), so I decided to I needed to try a new dessert recipe that was lower in fat and calories and had healthy aspects to it. I came across this recipe for Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies while searching "healthy oatmeal cookies" on Pinterest.com.

There is NO butter, oil, or white sugar in this cookie!! On top of that, this cookie is packed full of zucchini and oatmeal, with just a bit of raisins and mini chocolate chips to give it some extra sweetness. The zucchini and applesauce (a healthy substitute for oil) make the cookie very moist and chewy! These cookies are delicious, guilt-free, and I am hooked...
